McLaren Falls Regional Park is the focus: "pristine forest and well formed trails" above "stunning Lake McLaren," featuring native bush, glowworms, and those "magical autumn colours." The McLaren Falls Trail offers a genuine park trail experience, not a road race with added trees. Its terrain provides enough challenge for regular trail runners while remaining accessible to newer participants and walkers. Underfoot, expect primarily well-formed gravel paths, interspersed with short stretches of road and grassy field. The course includes "slightly more elevation" than the organiser's typical events, providing some climbing without becoming overly strenuous. The event hub is situated at McLaren Falls Equestrian Park, distinct from the main park entrance. This route is suitable for first-time participants, experienced trail runners, younger and older individuals, and walkers who enjoy varied terrain.

Whaka100 is a mountain bike marathon weekend in Rotorua, New Zealand, where riders race through the Whakarewarewa Forest on singletrack-heavy courses. It is the largest mass-participation MTB event in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 3,000 riders anticipated across six distances. Distances range from a 10km ride for a shorter objective, a 25km option, the popular 50km, the classic 100km Whaka challenge, and the 175km Giant Miler for those seeking the longest day on the bike. The course focuses on Rotorua’s forest trails, particularly the distinctive singletrack that defines the race's mountain-bike character. The participants include not only seasoned endurance riders but also first-timers, regular cyclists, and experienced racers, all able to select a distance suited to their ability. The weekend format is also significant, as Whaka100 is structured around riding, spectators, and the cycling community, rather than a singular start-and-finish point.
